It’s difficult to predict mother nature and what type of weather she plans to bring on to your home, especially as we start to approach the cold winter months. You may have even dealt with some instances during the spring or summer as well. Today we want to talk about the impacts that weather can have on your roof system.

It’s that time of year once again. The time where driving through your neighborhood after dusk becomes a pleasure because you’re able to admire all of the lights and decorations that your friends and neighbors are displaying. We know the struggle of putting up lights and how frustrating it can be (no one wants a Griswold Christmas). So, we would like to share some tips on getting those lights up on your roof.

The gutters around your home are the seal of your roof. They protect your roof from becoming damaged when water and debris are built up, keeping them away from your home. Over time, you'll notice that the build-up is something that should be taken care of. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.

As we approach the winter months, it's essential to check a few conditions of your home that will ensure your home will be protected from any damage during heavy snowfalls. The most crucial detail to remember is making sure you get the snow off after a storm.

In a previous article where we spoke about warranties, we mentioned that some companies out there use a material called synthetic slate. We wanted to explain that more so that you can be more cautious when getting any work on your roof done.

When it comes to fixing the necessities on your home, some of us tend to go into it with a blind eye. Some people will choose to go with the cheapest option possible either because of their budget or perhaps it's promised that it will take less time. Either way, you are only hurting yourself in the long run by choosing a company that hasn't proven to be reliable.

When it comes to keeping up on the exterior of your home, most of us fix those problems as they appear head-on because it's something detrimental such as a broken window or the siding on your home needs to be replaced. What most of us tend to neglect are the issues that we face with our roof, simply because it's not something that you look at when you're pulling into your driveway after a long day at work. Let's talk about some of the things you should be looking to save yourself some money down the road.

The roof on your home is like the shield that protects your family. It protects you from any moisture or water damage, it prevents any insects or animals from entering your home, as well as controls the ventilation in your home to prevent your central air bills from spiking. The roof is almost like the backbone of your home. When you notice that there's an issue and it's time to call a professional, there are a few grounds that should be covered. When choosing the company that you want to work with, there are a few questions you need to be asking:

When it comes to fixing your home, you always want to go with quality over cheaper work. If you're paying your hard-earned money on something, you want it to last, right? You need to hire someone reputable and will do the job right.

Whenever you invest in anything, no matter how big or small, you should make sure that you’re covered in case something happens that isn’t your fault. That’s why when you go to a store and purchase a new TV, you always make sure to bring home the receipt in case there are any issues. This is exponentially more important with large purchases. You wouldn't purchase a brand-new car and not ask about a warranty, would you? Don't do that when replacing the roof on your home.

Just like any other investment, it’s crucial to remember to keep up on the maintenance. Would you buy a vehicle, and then never have it serviced? No. While it is important to check things such as your siding and windows, a lot of people don't think about their roof regularly and forget to make sure that it’s safe. At New Look Roof, we want to help you protect your biggest investment, so you can enjoy your home (without the worry of a leaky roof) for years to come.

As a part of National Safety Month, which concluded a few days back, we wanted to bring attention to something that needs more awareness: job site safety.

The statistic that should bring this into perspective for everyone is roofing falls are at their highest rate in 26 years. Training, safety, and supervision are all critical elements to ensuring workers on the job site remain safe. Many people have a tendency to rush when they are busy with the perception that it will make them more efficient. When in reality, the more careful person will save time and, in many cases, their life or the life of someone they're working with.

At New Look Roofing, we are more than quality roof installers with great personalities ;). We also believe in educating people and making sure they understand the importance of roof, gutter, window, and siding maintenance. Part of that is following the benefit of replacing vs. repairing and what is going to be the best value to you long-term. We want to make sure that you are getting the best value for your money for the most prolonged period.
